Ingredients
- 200 g flour
- 200 g hazelnuts (ground)
- 100 g sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- 0.5 tsp clove powder
- 200 g butter (cold)
- 1 egg
- 300 g red currant jam
Instructions
- 1. Put flour, hazelnuts, sugar, and spices into a large mixing bowl.
- 2. Add the butter cut into small cubes and one egg.
- 3. Mix everything briefly with the mixer's dough hook until coarse crumbs form.
- 4. Then quickly knead the mixture by hand into a smooth dough.
- 5. Roll out two-thirds to three-quarters of the dough slightly larger than your pan.
- 6. Line the pan with it to form a crust.
- 7. Press the dough into the pan with your hands if you are in a hurry.
- 8. Prick the base several times with a fork to prevent air bubbles.
- 9. Roll out the remaining dough thinly (5 mm).
- 10. Cut the thin dough into long strips.
- 11. Fill the dough into a piping bag to pipe lattice strips onto the filling later.
- 12. Stir the jam until smooth.
- 13. Spread it evenly over the dough base.
- 14. Place the dough strips in a lattice pattern on top.
- 15. Pipe the lattice directly onto the jam if you used a piping bag.
- 16. Bake the torte at 180 degrees Celsius fan-forced for 40 minutes.
- 17. Let it cool completely on a wire rack afterwards.
- 18. The cake stores well and tastes even moister after 1 to 2 days as the flavors meld together.
